Following the provision of subpar lunch boxes at the 19th Chungbuk Disabled Citizens Sports Festival held in Chungju, Chungju City issued an apology.
According to Chungju City and others on the 25th, the Disabled Citizens Sports Festival opened the previous day, leading to complaints from the city and county teams regarding the lunch boxes provided. The side dishes reportedly consisted only of a few pieces of seasoned seaweed, green peppers, kimchi, and seasoned perilla leaves, and the quantity was also insufficient.
It is known that the lunch boxes were ordered by the city and county teams, who paid 12,000 won per person for over 1,400 of them. The service provider was introduced by the Disabled Sports Association.
In response to the complaints, Chungju City and the Disabled Sports Association apologized to the teams, and the company that supplied the lunch boxes agreed to accept only half of the lunch box cost. The city and county sports associations decided to provide additional beverages and snacks to the teams on-site.
